Fantastic wages

Copied from Maxi haulage job advert
Appleton

Note the fantastic wage they brag about it on there advert

And while at it what’s flexiable working I keep seeing on job adverts.
To me it means let you finish early if have commitments or start late change your days on etc .
Not sure how this would apply to any driving.

£12.50 + £1.62.
£14. 12 not that fantastic for nights
Class 2 driver nights £12.50 o/t £14.50

Overtime time after 10hrs each day, a daily meal allowance tax free.
Night Rate paid between 20:00 – 06:00 @ £1.62

A fantastic wage + overtime
Flexible shift patterns
20 days holiday plus Bank Holidays
Pension & Savings scheme
Full uniform
Inclusive friendly enviroment

It is fantastic. Dictionary definition:
adjective
imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality.

Wonder how much the daily meal allowance is? :smile:

Probably a voucher to get a Greggs sausage roll every day

Wouldn’t surprise me. Cheeky ■■■■■■■■■

I know I sound like an insane lefty oatmeal - ah I mean lentil - munching nutjob, but
if a job doesn’t pay you enough to afford to pay the mortgage on a cheap house, then either houses are vastly overpriced else we’re vastly underpaid.

Have say I kind of agree.
Thing is though some one will apply for above job and do it.
…if nobody applied to poor paying jobs company’s would have no choice but to pay more to attract drivers.
But as long as there’s people willing to apply and do jobs for basaiiy not much more than minimum wage .pay will never go up

Some people have no choice, if they need the work/money and they’re on their a rse… i understand that.
But yeh generally some of the rates these firms are offering now is shocking. Especially when as you say, its comparable to minimum wage. To make it pay anything more like decent you have to work all the hours god sends.
Maybe in some ways it explains the high turnover of staff in some of these gaffs.

new licence holders might apply for it to get experience

I got offered this job via email. The daily meal allowance is £4.

£13.00 per hour 1st 10 hours

£15.00 per hour after 10 hours
